[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

The patch titled
     use mutex instead of semaphore in SPI core/init code
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     use-mutex-instead-of-semaphore-in-spi-core-init-code.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: use mutex instead of semaphore in SPI core/init code
From: Matthias Kaehlcke <matthias.kaehlcke@xxxxxxxxx>

The SPI core/init code uses a semaphore as mutex.  Use the mutex API instead
of the (binary) semaphore.
